Abstract

The essay focuses on the relation between Biopolitics and Race-Theory, in the context of Nazi totalitarism. Starting from Foucault, many authors have considered totalitarian antisemitism as bizare outcome of Evolutionism. This essay deals with another racist 'tradition' (for ex. A. Rosenberg and H.F.K. Günther: crucial figures in the Nazi Movement) which presents itself as a sort of revitalized Platonismus, as the real supporter of the authentic Humanism.
